Lou 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 *dusts hands and stands back to admire her work well done* Incidently, why does this forum leave lots of space below the end of each post... as if there's secret white writing there....?? I often look for secret white writing there, and there isn't any. When I say often... I think I mean 'twice'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themags 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 you ever thought of doing stand up comedy Lou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Yes, and then I think "oh good gracious god I'd be awful at that!!!!" Me?! Deal with hecklers?! Think of funny things to say on stage to start with?! Plus, I'd love to be the more bizarre comedian, just not plain stand-up. I'd love to be able to get on stage and do stuff that has the audience in unstoppable hysterics, whilst they're also thinking "what on earth made them think that THIS was a good idea to do on stage?!" I love those comedians. They make me laugh so much I hurt. And they have so much fun (when it goes right). I made a room of 350 people laugh at Edinburgh Festival this year....... I suddenly truly saw the joy of being a comedian. But as I said, I could never hack it. I just like watching instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 No. That *would* have been funny though. I'm not going to bother going into the details, because well, let's face it, you don't care, but the whole crowd LOVED it, and so did Tim (the comedian on stage at the time). He just GRINNED at me and spent the next few minutes ad-libbing about it..... and at the end when he crossed the stage, he shot me another little grin, a thumbs up, and whispered thanks. The whole thing still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. It was so fantastic. Hurrah. I also love doing improvised comedy.... it's so much fun being on stage and saying something that comes into your head, and everyone finding it funny. Especially when it's when you're at an impro workshop, and the people you're performing to are people who've been going to the workshop for way longer than you and most of whom are actually comedians anyways.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 HF - have you read Danny Wallace's book Yes Man? I suggest that you do. Basically, he just decided to say yes to everything. So if someone told him to go to the Eiffel Tower, he would, or if someone told him to do a parachute jump, he would. Very funny book, well worth the read. ( look here ) Same concept, different wording, more influenced by a random man on a bus. 52001[/snapback] Cheers, you suggested it after I finished Join Me, you also suggested I compliment people on there parking which I did. I've got a few books to finish before I buy another batch, but it's on the wishlist. I must've been subconsciously thinking of it when I decided on (not) making my website cos it's identical really but that never occured to me at 4.30am. My random acts of kindness have dwindled to buying people pints and helping with their su doku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ohhh yeah, I forgot about that!!

Lou 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Haaannnnggg on!!!!! My elbow's starting to hurt again!! I'm sure this hurt has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the fact that it tends to correspond to me leaning on it for lengthy time periods, right? Oh oh oh... *scared*... my little toe hurts too now.

Lou 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 A guy walked by me today - WITH A UNICYCLE!! My poor mate... one min I was chatting to him, and the next I was facing the other way going 'OMG YOU HAVE A UNICYCLE!!!' at the uni guy. I also added "I'm getting one for Christmas!!" to prove that I'm a hardcore uni-fan, not just a randomer. And he asked if I could ride, and I explained that not quite yet, but almost. And then I realised that I probably shouldn't ignore my mate just because there was a unicycle around, and I was worried that uni guy would get a look of fear in his eyes if I talked to him longer. Plus my mate was in a hurry to get home, so I bid uni guy farewell. It was nice though Nice uni. Good job I didn't keep the convo going on longer, I was about to ask him what its name was... and I think I need to know a uni owner longer before I do that.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I always find that people who ride a unicycle are far more interesting than those that don't. I suppose it's that attitude of "I'd prefer to be precariously balanced on a small surface area and wobbling all over the shop running the constant risk of smashing my face all over the shop than to be so boring as to get a two wheel vehicle and not be the centre of attention" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 You know my "I like you " of before? I firmly stand by that. Unicycling's just SO FUN. And when you start actually getting somewhere with it (ie: you don't fall off after about an inch of movement without holding onto stuff) it's just an amazing feeling. I can't wait till I can do it *properly*. I can't wait for how proud I'm gonna feel of myself. Maybe that sounds silly, but I'll just be like 'fuckin woo. i wanted to do it... and i practised damn hard, and now I can!' It's fun walking around with a uni and making comments at all the bikes that go by.... I once had a lovely convo with a guy at a train station about his "weird two wheeled contraption" (he played along, he was fantastic). Or if you're out practising (and all falling all over the shop) and a bike goes by.... just watching it go by and go "ooohhhhh...... TWO wheels!! THAT'S why this isn't working!!!" ...or alternatively, "CHEATER!!!"... etc etc. My favourite was when a guy cycled by and I just went "pfft - two wheels??!! Someone's over compensating for something!!" It's probably a good job he didn't hear that. I don't think he'd have been as amused as we were. Unicycling tip of the day: MAKE SURE THE SEAT IS THE RIGHT HEIGHT. I used to struggle loads on Dudley (our uni in Oz) because the seat wasn't the EXACT right height for me. Since I've tried it properly here, the seat's been just right, and I've picked it up so quickly. So, there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I can't believe I wasted all my youth getting high and pissed when I could have been out there unicycling and having just as much fun but in a far more wholesome manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
